Commodities wholesaler in Pakistan?

OK this is going to be a longer post than I would have liked so apologies in advance. At least it's a bit different!

So I connected with a guy in a FB group looking to buy some cheap s/w to fix his problem (LTD means one-time payment) this is what he was looking for ...

"Is there any LTD WhatsApp CRM that I can use? I am the only salesperson in the company and have over 900 unread messages. Need something that I can use on WhatsApp desktop or WhatsApp web. Preferably something that will connect with Vbout or Hubspot or MailChimp. Thanks in advance."

I DMd him and we are talking; seems a nice guy. Turns out he/his family run a whole bunch of decent sized companies selling bulk food commodities, salt, rice, cotton, cooking oil to name a few, from factories and multiple locations including Dubai. He is from and based in Pakistan and like much of that part of the world they use WhatsApp almost exclusively, so his website have a contact form and WhatsApp number.

I am based in the UK.

The reason he sites as looking to cut costs is that his market is on a huge downturn and he fears the worst. He seems genuinely worried about the future of his family businesses. He is also technical, has programming experience and uses ChatGPT daily. He also has various teams that manage his websites and branding (not that you'd think it looking at his sites).

So while I have been focussing on finding local businesses for MCTB and DBR and not sold GHL as a package or affiliate, I suspect that he would benefit from a good number of features that GHl offers. There's the new invoicing and document signing as well.

I have a loose agreement for a discovery call in a week or so and can quiz him a bit more then. I know I need to know a lot more about his current software and sales process. He mentions https://www.vbout.com/ which looks to be very capable marketing automation software and not expensive ($100pm) so why isn't he making full use of that?

So I'd appreciate some advice here. I fully expect that GHL has all the tools he needs in one package. He can either replace WhatsApp with website chat (AI or not) into booking bot which can send an email and a quote can be generated and sent out. Or he may be able to use the new native WhatsApp feature. He then gets all the goodness from the CRM pipeline and can nurture and close etc. etc. He would also be a candidate for a bit of DBR as well I suspect.

So what would you guys advise, I think once I demo the product he will want to know all about it and what it runs on so will have to let him know about GHL and then of course there's a good change he'll want to just jump-in and use it himself. So I will have to focus on how I can add value with my workflows, snapshots and expertise but the other thing I am worried about it how to price. For example how would (purely as an example) $997 or £997 translate to rupees with regard to affordability per month and value for money?

I really want to help him and I'm pretty confident I can sell him on GHL .. question is what package and how much?

Anyways all good practice 🙂
